Having dowloaded the disk image gnat-community-2019-20190517-x86_64-darwin-bin.dmg, I double-click on it and a Finder window opens showing the installer gnat-community-2019-20190517-x86_64-darwin-bin. Double-click on this, and a window pops up saying “gnat-community-2019-20190517-x86_64-darwin-bin” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. and offering the choice of ejecting the disk image or cancelling. When the machine does this - fair enough, Apple don't want it to be too easy to install random software - the trick is, instead of double-clicking on the installer, to pop up an option menu, either with Control- or just , and choose "Open". Now you get a pop-up saying macOS cannot verify the developer of “gnat-community-2019-20190517-x86_64-darwin-bin”. Are you sure you want to open it? By opening this app, you will be overriding system security which can expose your computer and personal information to malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. and this time you have an "Open" option. Select it, and off you go. (I haven't tried this on Monterey, because I already have GNAT CE 2019 installed, or on an M1 Mac, because I don't have one.)
